Benefits of Diverse Schools: Diversity is one of the four factors considered by the school system when reviewing boundaries because research shows that diverse schools benefit students. The benefits, as described in the research, suggest:

Students in integrated schools have higher average test scores.
Integrated classrooms encourage critical thinking, problem solving and creativity.

What is the evidence that "Integrated classrooms encourage critical thinking, problem solving and creativity."?

We moved from MoCo to McLean this summer, sure we have our own variety of progressive bs here in FCPS but nothing remotely close to MCPS. They are out of their minds with this liberal nonsense. BOE can’t fix the culture at home, they can bus, they can provide free food etc but nothing will change as long as the culture at home remains the same.

If I'm reading it right - they are doing the analysis to use for any future boundary changes (such as they just did with Seneca Valley/ Clarksburg/NW). No where does it say they are doing district wide change in boundaries.

They would like to do county wide boundary changes. At any rate, with Crown and Woodward opening they will have the opportunity to redistrict a large swath of the county.

MCPS currently has 25 high schools. When Crown opens and Woodward re-opens, MCPS will have 27 high schools - an increase of 8%. Most people in the county will not be affected.

They wii redistrict QO, Wootton, Northwest, Gaithersburg, WJ, Einstein, Kennedy, Northwood, Blair and probably BCC at that time.

I think that they wouldn't have paid half a million dollars for an analysis they don't plan to use as backup for lots of rezoning.

Nobody is talking about BCC in the Woodward rezoning, except some people on DCUM with an idée fixe.

Early plans also included Whitman.

The boundary analysis is capped at $475,000 - 0.018% of the MCPS annual operating budget. Or, let's put it another way: what kind of housing, zoned for which schools, can you buy for $475,000 in Montgomery County?

Correct. According to the CIP, the following schools are in scope.

Woodward: WJ, Einstein, Wheaton, Kennedy, Northwood, Blair.

Crown: QO, Wootton, Northwest, RM, Gaithersburg.

Except it was mentioned in prior MCPS documents about the reopening of Woodward as being under consideration...that's where it keeps coming from I think.

Someone needs to bookmark the other thread where this analogy was first made so that in three years when people wonder why GALLBLADDERS AND SPLEENS keeps appearing in every argument on DCUM, they know where it came from.

Don't worry. Three years from now they'll all know exactly what this about, when they are missing their gallbladder and spleen.
